I have shot several different loads at different times over the years and used to just buy whatever was on the shelf but am wondering if cost is worth it with hevi metal or not. I have been shooting it for several years and have been happy with it but will be taking a new to me SB2 26” with factory chokes. I know I need to pattern and will shoot some different loads this weekend but figured there were probably a handful of ppl who have already done the homework for me. Normally buy 3-3.5” BB and 3” 2-3. Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That’s because Apple and Google have been ordered by the U.S. government to hand over names, phone numbers and other identifying data of at least 10,000 users of a single gun scope app, Forbes has discovered. It's an unprecedented move: never before has a case been disclosed in which American investigators demanded personal data of users of a single app from Apple and Google. And never has an order been made public where the feds have asked the Silicon Valley giants for info on so many thousands of people in one go.

Had a powerbelt aerolite fail to expand yesterday evening, exit was the same as the entry and barely any blood. Giving the hornady SST a try, any other recommendations?

Fri, 06 Sep 2019 15:10:43 GMTI have been thinking about ordering a Boyd's At One stock for my browning .308 x-bolt. Boyd's is about the only thing out there for x-bolts. My question is, is it a plug and play thing or will it need to be bedded? If it does, is that something I can do myself or should I hire a gunsmith?

Armalite AR-17: A Shotgun from the World of Tomorrow!

Armalite was a company founded as an offshoot of the Fairchild Aircraft company, and working with aluminum was their specialty. This was a fairly novel material to the arms industry, and they were able to exploit it fantastically in the AR-10 and AR-15 rifles. The AR15 rights were sold to Colt in 1959, though, and Armalite went in search of other guns to market.

One of these was the AR-17, introduced in 1964 to the commercial market, aimed at hunters and sport shooters. It was a short recoil action with a 10(!) lug coating bolt similar to the earlier Armalite rifles and a 2-round capacity, chambered for 2.75” 12 gauge shells. It didn’t have a magazine so much as a single round lifter/elevator in addition to the chambered round. Most importantly, it was a nearly all-aluminum gun, weighing just 5.5 pounds (2.5kg). Only the barrel extension and bolt were steel, plus a few small parts. The receiver and barrel were hardened aluminum, and the furniture was foam-filled Nylon. The was truly the shotgun from The World of Tomorrow!

Unfortunately for Armalite, being extremely lightweight was not necessarily a god thing in a shotgun. It was certainly nice to carry for long periods while hunting, but short shooters found its heavy recoil to be punishing. The light weight also brought complaints that it did not swing well. And finally the limited 2-round capacity, while not logically a problem for the intended uses, was a turn-off to many potential buyers. Parts for 2000 of the guns were manufactured in 1964 and 1965, but only about 1200 were actually assembled and sold. The gun was a commercial failure by all measures.

He...Have an older gentleman that I eat breakfast with that has asked if I would reload some 300 win mag for him, have the dies so not a problem.

He is wanting a some what light load, he is shooting a Ruger No 1

Never really shot reduced loads but on other hand my loads are not max loads either .

I have plenty of 4831 and 4350 on hand

He picked up a box of 165 gr Sierra’s

I was thinking something between 65-70 gr of 4831.

My Nosler book shows a load of 70 gr 4831 on lower end of load chart, kind of nervous about going much below that

Reason I am asking it seems like some where over the years I have read that too much of a reduced load can create higher pressures than normal. Not positive on the this but for some reason it sticks in my mind.

And YES I will put the correct bullets in this one LOL
